4.0 ice cream sandwich - "Show only contacts with phone number" - Filter missing in Android 4


The stock contacts app of Android 2.3. (and older versions) had a filter that displays only contacts with a phone number, accessible under Menu -> Display Options -> Only contacts with phones.


This seems to be gone in android 4. The other display options moved to Menu -> Settings, but this one is missing. It's also not under Menu -> Contacts to display.


Does anybody know if this option still exists and where it is if thats the case?



Answer




In Ice Cream Sandwich, the old Contacts app was now replaced with the People app. This new app is meant to keep you connected with all of your contacts, not just people you call, and it does so in different ways then the old contacts app, by hooking in to social networks and things like that.


The option to only show contacts with a phone number is not an option in the new People app. But I agree that it should be there, especially when you are searching for a contact when you want to make a phone call.
